Lightdome is a lighting workflow in your Cinema 4D scene that uses spherical
geometry and mograph with lights added on the sphere surface. This will
save time when no GI has to be calculated and saves time in animation
rendering on most cases. However you can use lightdome also with GI
as a hybrid lighting method with both shadow maps rendering and GI if you want.
Fake GI is very good when combined with reflection maps when you
are rendering very small objects like watches and jewelry but if you need
more details in larger objects like cars and others then perhaps you will
propably need different and more accurate lighting setup with GI and AO.

Want to make your renders with great looking reflections
for your objects and designs?

Some stores sell this kind of HDRI packs for big bucks and even with less resolution.
For example with maximum of only 3000px. I can give you a first preset for this resolutionfor free you to try out.
If you want to make your renderings great then 3000 px is too little and you will
get jagged edges on reflections. So I decided to make some of my own with
large resolution of 6000px for the bigger side.

New pack with 10 HDR-files in high 6K resolution!

Specifications: Comes with 10 HDR-files and a Cinema 4D scene file to setup your HDR-files and lights
for rendering.
File is for Cinema 4D release 10 and up. If you have release 12 then HDRI pack for
rel 12 version is suggested because the render settings are better.

The pack is friendly for all starving 3d artists and is only 10 euros.
(around 14 dollars).
